I am a lemming. One of my friends joins Facebook, so I figure, “Oh, whatever — I’ll just make a page.”

Except it really is addictive, isn’t it? As soon as I joined, I heard from people I hadn’t spoken to in years. It’s as if they were all hanging out there, waiting for me to arrive.

And of course, there are photos to upload, “badges” to make, groups to join, “walls” to post on, and so forth.

As if I needed something else to eat up my time when I ought to be writing….
